TIA:This is Africa (Blood Diamond)

Honestly speaking, This is leo's best performance ever IMO and he will be hard pressed to better it EVER! I really do hope he gets best actor for his role, he truly does deserve it.I like films with a message and i also like films without a message And this film is excellent even if you put it in either category. The film is very real without being overly dramatic. You tend to wince everytime you see the endless killings that this move has throughout because it feels so real and less like a hollywood production than say Hotel Rwanda (which was more dramatic) probably because Hotel rwanda was a message wrapped around a movie while blood diamond is a movie wrapped around a message. I know that some people might say that unless you have something extreme you can't deliver a message. But sometimes messages are delivered in a subtle manner, under the guise of entertainment, thats where blood diamond is so good.

I loved the african themed music and i hope that the likes of hans zimmerman can rest easy in knowing that someone is gonna carry on the torch of his film music. Djaimon honsou was also excellent and jeniffer connelly seriously has the poise and grace to take over from the likes of jane fonda (specially in her performance in barefoot in the park). I cant stop praising the cinematography enough, Africa is a beautiful country and i hope i can visit it at least once before i die.
